WHAT IS ConArte ?
WHAT IS ConArte ?
ConArte is a civil society organism dedicated to promoting arts education in public schools, in communities in peripheral communities and with high social risk, to form new creative, expressive and self-awareness capacities. It promotes a culture of peace to help shape a more equitable, sensitive and inclusive society.
In its 14 years of experience, ConArte has become a benchmark by linking artistic training and experience with intercultural education, interaction with living community cultures, prevention and social reintegration, gender perspective, attention to people with disabilities, the recovery of public spaces and the impact on public policies.
It develops projects from its own methodologies and collaboration with other organizations in Mexico City, in various states of the republic and in other countries in Latin America, the United States, Africa and Europe.
